30 XC DT 350 29in Boost Wheelset

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I raced the 30 XC DT 180 29in Boost Wheelset with the DT 350 DEG hubs through a full XC season and felt a clear improvement in how my rear suspension tracked chatter on descents. The 6-bolt rotor setup made swapping between bikes simple, and the wheel held true through every rock strike."

The 30 XC DT 180 29in Boost Wheelset pairs Reserve's SL carbon rim with DT Swiss's 350 Degree of Freedom hub, a design built specifically to reduce the resistance that typically limits how freely a rear suspension platform can move through its travel. For XC racers running full-suspension bikes, that translates directly into better small-bump compliance and more consistent traction over roots and chatter, without changing how the bike pedals on smooth sections.

The wider rim profile brings tire sidewall support closer to the bead, increasing cornering grip on loose or technical terrain, while the 28 spoke count, higher than the 24 spokes found on many XC wheels, adds stiffness and improves descending predictability. Vonoa carbon spokes handle power transfer, keeping the wheel responsive under hard accelerations out of corners and switchbacks.

Compatibility centers on the DT 350 DEG hub's XD freehub body and 6-bolt rotor mount, along with Boost spacing at 15x110mm front and 12x148mm rear, so confirm your frame and drivetrain match those standards before building this wheelset into your setup. Recommended tire width runs 2.2in to 2.5in, in line with typical XC race tire choices.

This build suits racers and technical trail riders who want the suspension benefits of the DEG hub alongside a stiff, precise carbon rim, particularly on courses where sustained chatter and root sections reward a wheel that keeps traction connected to the ground.
